Okay, this time Kaley Cuoco’s new haircut is actually for real! The actress tricked fans into thinking she’d taken the plunge in late March, but this time, there’s no questioning the authenticity of her new photos.

She started with a pic in her hair dresser’s chair, covering her face, anxiously, while the scissors got to work. “Here we go! @clsymonds,” she teased.

Next up came the first peek at her hair’s new length, a chin-length, layered bob. The Big Bang Theory star looked quite comfortable in an oversized sweater and shorts as she made a duck-face in her mirror selfie. “We did it @clsymonds ! Now let’s get some color shall we ? @andylecomptesalon,” she wrote.

And color she did! Lighting up her dirty blonde hair, Kaley went for a brighter blonde shade, and seemed very happy with the results. “Cut,color, joy, joy,joy !!! Thank u @clsymonds and Vanessa @andylecomptesalon,” she captioned yet another pic.
